Might have. Otherwise excuse me, theres a general item for an upcoming meeting, perhaps in august. I think it would be timely with the onboarding of commissioner gray and commissioner smith joining us that we can have a deeper policy dive in terms of exploring not just the one of the items that are here before us today, but also other things that we had previously considered as a commission and can go through what we have been calling the policy prioritization station plan.

I think it would be a good time to do grounding in terms of all that has come forward and matters before is now, and have a robust discussion of the full commission on where to go in the future both on the short medium and longterm. I think the timing would be good, because as you can see, a lot of these projects are in the later stages right now. The regulations that you approved hopefu

I would just note for our discussion next month, and also for your consideration as you think about this, the comment had suggested adopting the practice of using warning letters. I would like to make sure that we include that as part of our discussion Going Forward where it would be i think its in between so you are not doing outright just so. It does not lead to a fullblown investigation either. Is it a good middle ground that i think is worth discussing and employing explain the benefit of adopting get thank you for flaggin
